Feeder Cattle Listing and Fax Service The AGA has listed tens of thousands of Gelbvieh-cross calves through its innovative feeder fax line. Commercial cattlemen call the AGA with details of their Gelbvieh corss-calves currently for sale including number of head, sex of animals, estimated sale weight, vaccination program, whether or not the cattle have been weaned, etc. The AGA types all this pertinent information into a standardized listing and faxes their listing directly to more than 100 feeder and order buyers who collectively purchase more than 4.0 million head annually.

There is no minimum number of head required to participate in the program.

However, a truckload (approximately 80 hd.) is usually needed to take full advantage of the program. The AGA provides this valuable service at no charge.

Contact the AGA for additional information or to list you Gelbvieh-cross feeder calves at 303-465-2333.

The industry focus may shift from time to time, but the money to be made in the cattle business is still on the cow side. Make sure your cowherd is working as hard as you do.

• According to the Meat Animal Research Center, Gelbvieh is the only breed that reduced mature cow size in its germplasm study between 1973 and 2004.

• Crossbreeding with Gelbvieh results in cows that are 30% more productive over their lifetime due to increased fertility, weaning weights, and cow longevity.

MARC data shows crossbred cows stay in the herd an average of 1.9 years longer, reducing replacement costs.

KHR Information Gelbvieh EPDs Defined Calving Ease Direct (CE): an EPD that is expressed as a ratio, with a higher ratio representing better (easier) calving ease. This value represents the direct influence a sire has on calving ease. Only first-calf heifer data is included.

Birth Weight (BW): predicts the difference, in pounds, for birth weight.

Weaning Weight (WW): predicts the difference, in pounds, for weaning weight (adjusted to age of dam and a standard 205 days of age).

This is an indicator of growth from birth to weaning.

Yearling Weight (YW): predicts the expected difference, in pounds, for yearling weight (adjusted to standard 365 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to yearling.

Milk (MK): the genetic ability of a sire’s daughters to produce milk expressed in pounds of weaning weight.

Total Maternal (TM): a value that combines growth and milk information and a prediction of the weaning weight performance of calves from a sire’s daughters. This value does not have an accompanying accuracy value.

Gestation Length (GL): this EPD is expressed in days and measures the days under or over normal gestation length a sire’s daughters can be expected to calve Calving Ease Daughters (CED): an EPD expressed as a ratio for a sire’s daughters’ calving ease with a higher ratio being a more favorable calving ease. This value represents the calving ease that a sire transmits to his daughters. Only first-calf daughters are considered in calculations the EPDs. Scrotal Circumference (SC): value is expressed in centimeters of adjusted yearling scrotal circumference.

Stayability (ST): predicts the genetic difference, in terms of percent probability, that a bull’s daughters will stay productive within a herd to at least six years of age. Stayability EPD is one of the best measures currently available to compare a bull’s ability to produce females with reproductive longevity.

Carcass Weight (CW): expressed in pounds of carcass weight adjusted to a constant fat endpoint.

Rib Eye Area (RE): expressed in square inches of rib eye muscle area adjusted to a constant fat enpoint.

Marbling (MB): expressed in degrees of marbling score, a determinant of USDA Quality Grade. Value is adjusted to a constant fat endpoint.

Days to Finish (DtF): expressed in days to reach a constant fat endpoint, which is commonly used in the feedlot to determine when an animal is finished with the appropriate amount of fat cover.When evaluating two potential sires with comparable EPDs for other traits, the sire with the lesser value for DtF will produce progeny that will finish sooner with potentially lower feed costs.

Feedlot Merit (FM): expressed in dollars per head, value passed to progeny. The Feedlot Merit EPD measures the dollar value associated with the expected gain and feedlot efficiency of progeny when fed in a “typical” feedlot arrangement.

Carcass Value (CV): expressed in dollar value per head, comparing progeny of one animal to another in dollar differences when progeny are sold on a grid. This value is a true economic comparison; it is not grid merit at a standard carcass weight as many breeds calculate.

Projected carcass weight, penalties for “out” weight carcasses (too heavy or light), quality grade and yield grade premiums and discounts are all included in calculating this $EPD value.
